Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a higher rating for PTSD and TDIU due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's treatment history and the need for an updated examination.
The deciding factor: The failure to obtain the Veteran's treatment records related to PTSD, and the inadequacy of the April 2024 examination constitute pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
